This is madness. A positive PCR test for Omicron is basically to take tests what would have previously been seen as negative and count them as positive. This is an excerpt from an article that discusses this:
“current PCR tests used to identify positive COVID infections can detect this particular variant, and several labs have indicated that in one widely used PCR test, one of the three usual target genes—the S gene—does not show up when dealing with the Omicron variant.
“Using this approach, this variant has been detected at faster rates than previous surges in infection,” the WHO explained.”
The typical PCR test uses 3 targets to identify a positive case. If any of the 3 targets come back negative the test is considered negative. Now they simply state that the virus has mutated to the point that one of the targets do not come back positive for a positive Omicron test. Basically they rebranded tests that would have previously been considered negative as positive. This is absolute insanity.
